The Coreys Strike Back.

So, when I started up this blog, I thought that I was going to get more and more excited about what is going on in Hollywood right now. Boy was I wrong. Instead, the more I delve into the current, up and coming films the more and more I get depressed. Seriously…

With that said, I found that sometime in 2008 (the exact date hasn’t been  released yet but ComingSoon states that it is coming straight to DVD (thank GOODNESS)) there will be a sequel to The Lost Boys called Lost Boys: The Tribe. (The link is to the trailer, found on MTV.com) The only redeeming quality that I can see in this atrocity is that The Coreys are going to be acting in it.

I’m a self-proclaimed classic movie nut, and a self-proclaimed Vampire fanatic. The Lost Boys certainly satisfies both of these interests tenfold. It’s a really, really good movie, chock full of sweet dogs, blood, cool music and on top of that, it is deliciously 80’s. Why in anyone’s holy name would you make a sequel to perfection?

In today’s world of sequels and remakes I’m begging for something new and fresh. Where are the Clockwork Oranges  of today? Where are the movies that require some actual talent? I watched No Country for Old Men, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards this year. Even that was pretty much a disappointment. It took forever to get started (when it did get interesting it was good) and then the end…I mean, pardon my IM jargon, but WTF? Can you even call that an ending? I’m all about the obscure endings too…geesh.

Anyway, that got a little off topic, but seriously. I want something new. Not The Lost Boys II. Not Indiana Jones IV (although, I’m super excited in spite of myself) but something completely NEW! Is that even possible?

Gosh, I hope so.
